Okay, we are tasked with adding 9254 and 4260. Let's begin!

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 0 in column 1 and get 4.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 6 in column 2 and get 11.
We'll write down the last digit 1 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 2 in column 3 and get 5.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 4 in column 4 and get 13.
We'll write down the last digit 3 and carry the 1 to the next column.
